so president assad has aareed syria. so president assad has agreed to _ syria.s agreed to allow— syria. so president assad has agreed to allow united - syria. so president assad has. agreed to allow united nations to be able to bring in some aid, we understand the scale of the challenges in syria but in your opinion, what would you say is the most significant being needed right now, in terms of what people need on the ground?— terms of what people need on the ground? well, i think needs have changed — the ground? well, i think needs have changed in _ the ground? well, i think needs have changed in the _ the ground? well, i think needs have changed in the first - the ground? well, i think needs have changed in the first five i have changed in the first five or six days, at most you could say search and rescue equipment, now, most people need shelter. the issue is this aid should be able to throw cash flow freely into north—west syria without the approval of the assad regime, it is not needed. this is according to the secretary deputy general, the former secretary

syria got spooked and left assad in place. if the international community cannot just starve the syrian people forever. >> jordan has also reached out to president assad. just a very quick word on the presence of russia and iran in syria and where they fit into this briefly. we have about a minute left. >> russia and iran have been rolling back aid, which is one of its major problems. ron almost doubled the price of its oil sales to syria. it makes it difficult to help us on -- to help assad, for the west to step in. because we are fighting this war in ukraine and our enemies are russia and iran. if we can help syria, many people say let's do it, and unfortunately, that's the kind of thinking that has prevailed so far and perhaps it's time we change that thinking now that we see the suffering. >> many thanks to all of you. and thank you for watching. don't forget, you can see the program again at any time by going to the website al jazeera.com. for further discussion, join us on our split page -- join us on our facebook page.

america was obliged to overthrow bashar al-assad's regime.n, like the arab example, the bird from the cage was so large that the dust was thrown back. there was nothing to retreat after the entry of russia, despite the war. in fact, the siege of syria's authority is inherent to the people of syria, and the position of syria plays a beneficial role in the equations and balance of the region , and what countries can still be the first to separate syria from iran and then force them into a kind of temporary cooking? with have and fortunately and arresting yourself different automobile industry first country that chinese embassy during the reconstruction stage, in me and paimanha, the surahs that warned against the future damage after the reconstruction and after the re -establishment of power, they supported us, and in fact, the prominent people of the smart country, what time, mr. on chashat , thank you very much, mr. seyed jafari. the expert on west asian issues to syria and iraq gave the message of the president of egypt to bashar al-assad re

years of the worst crimes of the 21st century and now dealing with an earthquake where russia and assad continue to blockade -- block aid from the north. >> you have spoken about resilience. is there anger, too? are people really frustrated about what has happened? >> absolutely. if there is a big fire, let's say, in a city in europe or the united states, you will see ambulances and you will see police and cars and things like that. you don't see anything on the borders. there is no aid coming in. people are angry because not only have they been left alone to deal with the chemical weapons and bombs and things like that but assad, they are not left alone by the international community and the united nations, and people are really angry over the fact that the united nations is asking permission of bashar al-assad who blocks aid for these people. the fact is i don't know in the history of the united nations that a major of historic proportions earthquake that is so devastating that nine days a week into it, the united nations has sent nothing. people are rightfully angry because the world

. assad hasn't forgotten russia's rule in maintaining his grip on power. with moscow now increasingly isolated on the international stage. assad is one of putin's few remaining allies. and i am john's now by vent a sheller of the berlin based irish ball foundation. she is a foreign policy expert who has written extensively about syria. i'm as we've seen there, there are these warring factions controlling different areas of the country. how are the internal divisions within syria itself complicating rescue efforts? right now they are complicating risky. i said it's been so so who can cross which line in which border the regime has insisted that age should go only through moscow . and you know, there's only one border crossing that is allowed for you and age into northwest 0. it's live. so this is of course a problem because a through to must hardly ever reaches it live. and chris, there were also the division between the autonomous areas and of criticism. there has been an offer of aid from these areas satisfied turkey and the regime. it has also been one t

now, what we are seeing is basically the assad regime blocking aid into other parts of the country orit to flow only if it legitimizes his regime. an update now on a developing story we've been covering here on bbc news. three people have been shot dead in the grounds of michigan state university. shots were fired in two locations — near an academic building and an athletic stadium. five other people were taken to hospital, some of them with life—threatening wounds. police say the suspect is still at large. the us military says it has recovered electronics parts from the suspected chinese surveillance balloon that it shot down earlier this month. officials believe they could be helpful in determining the precise purpose of the structure. beijing said it was a platform to monitor the weather. the search is continuing for wreckage from three other objects shot down last weekend that have so far not been identified. here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. quite make the salvage operation to retrieve the chinese air balloon shot last month. us official said it was being used b

should circumvent the assad which denies aid to earthquake victims. this resolution calls on president biden to push the u.n. to get aid to those in need. natasha hall from the center of strategic and international studies, quote, the syrian government has the weapon niecessation of hiern aid. in some cases it is far more effective than the military offensive. assad continues to lie and blame u.s. sanctions for causing delays in aid. this is simply not true. as this resolution makes clear, mr. speaker, sanctions on war criminals like assad which passed on a bipartisan basis prevent from obtaining the resources to brutalize the people of syria and do not inhibit humanitarian assistance. i'm saddened there is a weakening of sanctions by the biden administration through permitting permitting direct transactions. this will not help earth quick relief and endanger syrians. we are seeing the result of biden's weak policy with countries to normalize and ignoring the caesar act. despite this, let it be known that congress will continue to stand with the caesa

but assad has been left walking a tightrope. he has had to tread carefully to avoid provoking major powers, like the us are exhausting the patients of his backers, russia and iran. he also faces serious domestic challenges. his country is in ruins. half of the previous population of syria have been forced from their homes. most of those remaining are destitute with 90 percent living on less than 2 us dollars per day. the coven pandemic, and warren ukraine, have pushed the economy to the brink of total collapse, shortages of fuel and food have spoke fresh protests in cities reclaimed by the government. however, there have also been signs, ferocity of reproachful with some countries. the u. e has restored relations with damascus and firmly supports the syrian government's desire to reestablish sovereignty over the whole of the country. algeria has also voice support for syria rejoined the arab leave. even turkey, a major supporter of the syrian opposition appears to be softening each status on acid remaining in power. acid has als

well, one of the important issues that happened in al-assad is the will and the second power .etimes it is possible to have the will, but it is not there, or on the contrary, the us has the ability to attack iran, but they didn't want to because they knew that if they hit you, according to hazrat agha, you will eat ten times, so their hands trembled, or hazrat imam of all kinds, please tell me, at least it was reported that he said that if he was with me , he would be the first to hit in the persian gulf in any way, what happened in ain al-asad that we the same will and the same strength and accuracy factor it happened, well, moments after the martyrdom of sardar soleimani , and the demand of the people was not without influence. you know, the damage to the american base was not limited to only 4 buildings, which was caused after, for example, world war ii, which was a big event, and you know, the effects that we had a meeting with major countries and major commanders after that have changed . i tell the american base, some commanders how did he decide to have the military of a

russia, a key ally to president bashir al—assad, has vetoed any others.t here is a strangulation situation that has put humanitarian aid in a very difficult position, and made it very hard to give people anything like the dignity or the security or the support that they need. after the earthquake, the crossing was closed. no aid was getting through. i've come to north london to an aid collection centre. they're bringingl in milk, formula. milk for babies. snacks, food... food, nappies... sanitary towels. and all the stuff that we're i seeing here, this is all stuff that arrived today? - yes, they all arrived today. around half a million people in the uk have family links to turkey. many face an agonising wait for news. i called literally anyone i could get hold of. your mind leaves you. you can't control your mind at this time. cemil gorsal�*s sister and her husband are missing. i haven't been able to hear from herfor some time. do you have any hope that she might still appear? no. no hope. i kind of do, but i'm losing that hope every day, obviously. her

they had to have a more stable assad regime. in 5 years, the russians had not only kept the syrian government in power, but it also largely eliminated and marginalized. the moderate opposition articles criticising aside appeared in the russian media suggesting they might have preferred someone with a less checkered history in power. but when i said last support from one on i, he always seemed to identify another to turn to for help. michelle said the fellow, what a lucille ely, ethan danielle hunt, either by the light, look inactive will be only a co, selfless will be caught the la he went to lee putting on an unsatisfactory look what's what followed? i'm michelle said zed as to what did he at any auto, landman, iran, and norton wish it act out to be a be soria club. yet if your house is elena, i have no doubt that they will put out feelers. they already have. we've even had some americans go over asada himself, are very good at understanding how to try to gain leverage against opposition or other countries that are pressing the

that is disappointing, because the assad _ needed?sappointing, because the assad regime, it l needed? that is disappointing, | because the assad regime, it is needed? that is disappointing, - because the assad regime, it is not a secret that since 11 years to the area outside of his control he was not delivering aid, he was starving the syrian people, the aid was moved. the united nations secretary—general has all the power to activate and fix this. he was waiting for the permission of the criminal assad or awaiting the permission of china and russia and the security council. so they were waiting ten days to open more borders. that was disappointing to the syrian people. this borders. that was disappointing to the syrian people.— the syrian people. this will not be short-term. _ the syrian people. this will not be short-term, either? _ the syrian people. this will not be short-term, either? you - the syrian people. this will not be short-term, either? you have - the syrian people. this will not be i short-term, either? you have talked

oh, my be silly. swati oh, assad's 1st move was to crack. don't the protestors? ah oh. but this simply spurred on his opponents who themselves began to take up arms. their ranks were bolstered by soldiers deserted the syrian army. soon they received international support and out it's not easy because they open the war all over the country. i mean it's much easier to fight the war along your border. but whenever i, so the president, it would say we're going to be here and we're going to fight and we're going to be victorious. we will prevail, no problem, no matter how painful it is. but at the end, we will prevent ah! by the summer of 2011 simeon government forces had lost control of half the country . media images circulated, showing the wide spread killing of any opposition the world watched. in shock. on serious acids position, weakened and western governments turned against him very tough. mm. i have indicated repeatedly that present alice out as loss legitimacy that he needs to step down rather than drag his country in the civil war. he should move in the direction

the while as soon as assad gets control of age channels, it's never going to be used in a fair manner because he's massively attacking exactly those parts of the population and has no interest in their survival. sandy, on this earthquake, to put it very cynically, is very convenient for hamlin him out. it's killing these people without him having to bombard them. nor does he has one but young was the west has imposed sanctions on the us at regime for war crimes against his own people in syria are now calling for an end to the sanctions local back to look to saudi, to assess the economic sanctions against our country are the biggest obstacles stopping us from getting heavy equipment to syria, salanda after this devastating earthquake this natural disaster had the sanctions have to be lifted. well, as my book, the women lead heavy equipment and fire trucks with no nozzle armada that had begun to sell alice, he got up at 4 but humanitarian aid supplies and even heavy rescue equipment are not subject to western sanctions. they could be delivered. however, there have been repeated reports

the badly affected areas such as italy, province, which is not under the control of president bashar assad. health did not arrive for days, no rescue teams, no medication, nothing but here to there were small miracles. a baby born during the earthquake. the rescue was cut the umbilical cord. the baby girl's entire family is dead. in the hospital, they called her idea arabic for miracle. now she has a new family. they've named her. this is one of the most earthquake prone regions in the world. it sits at the crossroads of continental tectonic plates. the arabian plate is pushing northwards into the eurasian plate, forcing the anatoly and plate wedged between them to move 2 centimeters westwards. each year the pressure builds over years and then it suddenly released in the form of an earthquake. in this case, the jolt caused the plates to shift some 6 meters. the region hit by the most recent disaster is not the only area and turkey vulnerable to quakes. the majority of its population lives defact to under constant threat. the danger is particularly high in the area around is double for deca

we believe assad simply carrying out iranian orders. what keeps you awake at night when the reason that could effect any human assert master of chaos on all jazeera? ah ah. hello, i'm elizabeth bronman doe, have with the headlines on al jazeera, the u. n. has appealed for $1000000000.00 to cover immediate humanitarian needs and to a kia following last week's devastating of quakes. that's on top of the $400000000.00 appeal for quake affected regions and syria. the relief effort there has been delayed by the lasting legacy of civil war opposition held areas and serious northwest have only seen a trickle of age delivered so far. more than 42000 people are now known to have died across both countries. vessel. so that has been meeting survivors in the northern syrian town of gin that is and it's drop off the aid to help them to survive this winter. you can see that there are thousands and thousands of people that they have lost their houses or relative there did one. now they are here waiting for aid for food, food, warm cloths for heaters a

is that the assad regime? the predominance _ that the assad regime?sad regime? tue: predominance of age that the assad regime? tte: predominance of age comes —— aid comes from northern syria. you mentioned that the un is only allowed to deliver through a crossing that is currently closed, but it's really necessary for the international community to put pressure on the turkish government and the international community to prioritise the opening of these routes so that aid can actually get into northwest syria. at the moment, a lot of these crossings are closed and in some cases, the roads are so badly damaged that there's no way to get through. but there are other roads that could be possible and could begin to see aid getting through. that said, there hasn't been much of a response on the international side in order to prioritise and have the pressure to get this aid through to that vulnerable community in northwest syria. 0n the syrian government side, they have said that they would co—ordinate aid throughout all areas of control in syria. there are

this is an area that was bombed by the assad regime frequently. there is a history here of the assad regime weaponizing humanitarian aid. and because of that, people are fearful in idlib if humanitarian assistance is given to the assad regime they'll end up manipulating it as they have done in the past and preventing the population from gettinged a. right nowed ais flowing through three border crossin. this should continue and be sustained so people have access to life-sustaining food, medicine and shelter. >> s the the problem here, this is where i'd love yr take, how can the united nations, huh can the u.s., continue to provide the aid that's neede and at the same time not empower assad? dr. sahloul: i think our u.s. policy was clear and right, which is basically providing aid to the population through the local n.g.o.'s directly and through the u.n., of course. local n.g.o.'s should be supported directly by the usaid and other international funders because they know what are the needs of the population. they react much faster than the u.n. as w

we examined the global power games of president bashar al assad. we believe assad simply carrying out iranian waters. what keeps you awake at night? many a reason that could effect in human aside master of chaos on al jazeera guns .

some organizations are uneasy about working with president assad due to his role in the country civil war . russian president vladimir putin, however, has been quick to promise assistance to syria. he's sending military personnel to deliver aid to the crisis struck country. the governments of both syrian president assad and russians vladimir putin se, west and sanctions against them are hampering relief efforts. we all spend to shallow is from the berlin bass. think tank behind life both found ation to tell us more. well, they have been issuing, they have been insisting on this point for several years now. but this is not true that humanitarian aid is affected by or it is prevented by these sections. there was one thing, the banking sector among the sexual functions. this has been hampering aid so fun to recreate. fundraisers for example have been stopped in the past by yesterday. i saw there is a general license that was issued by the united states that allows all and any aid that it's related to the earthquake, i think now at this point it's a and i think this is as much as we can d

bashar assad's media advisor also said that if you compare the aid sent to turkey with that sent to syria , you will find that at all human considerations are not a theoretical man of western countries, they prioritize political issues over humanitarian issues. the first shipment of un aid arrived in syria. these are the aids that are transferred to the areas under the control of the rebels . the closure of the border crossings and international sanctions have so far provided relief to the earthquake victims. has faced syria with problems, according to the resolution of the united nations security council, sending international aid to syria is only possible through the marzieh-babol crossing. the us treasury department , after 4 days and nights of the turkish and syrian parliament earthquakes , through the 180-day sanctions on syria to provide aid informed the earthquake victims in recent days, these sanctions had caused a lot of criticism, the president of turkey has criticized it, four days after the earthquake, we still have not been able to help some earthquake affected areas. they co

syria visited the consultant bashar assad's media says that western sanctions have made it difficultide relief in syria. mrs. shaban, by publishing a picture showing the airlines , said that the full picture shows the important point that most of the planes carrying aid to the earthquake victims avoided entering syria. bashar assad's media also said that if you compare the aid sent to turkey with what was sent to syria, he will understand.

the global power games of president bashar al assad. we believe assad the simply carrying out iranian orders. what keeps you awake at night? maybe reason that could effect any human. i thought master of chaos on al jazeera. how do you state control information? moscow is one of them, most shall veil the case in the world. it has an incredible facial recognition technology. how does the narrative improve public opinion better? no. wasn't asked for how is it in journalism, we flaming the coin. the video spread like wildfire, they do not do practice or in your grade. the listening close dissects the media. we don't cover the news. we cover the way the news is cover. ah o. d u n is to boost a deliveries to north west and syria where millions are struggling to survive after last week's earthquakes. ah, i'm fully batty boy. you're watching al jazeera life from doha, with more on the disaster in turkey and syria, coming up among the rubble, moments of joy, 2 brothers are poured from under the ruins, inter kia and i'm sammy's. a van live trauma

continue to provide the aid needed and at the same time not empower assad? dr.ul: i think our u.s. policy was clear and right, which is basically providing aid to the population through local ngos directly and the un of course. local india's -- ngos should be funded by international funders because they know the needs of the population. they react much faster than the un, as we have proved in this crisis. many ngos started responding to the crisis moments after the earthquake. unfortunately what will come from the first shot of the earthquake will be even worse because of outbreaks of diseases such as cholera and other conditions and the malnutrition that will get worse. and because of the mental health trauma that affected the whole population. syria should be lifted as a priority to the u.s. administration and international community. people are paying more attention to syria and maybe the biden administration should pay more attention to ending the syrian crisis politically and exert all of its diplomatic power to end the crisis. amna: thank you for joining u

syria visited the earthquake-affected areas during his trip to aleppo, and during this trip, the poet assad, while informing about the relief and condition of the earthquake victims , remembered the injured by visiting the hospital. people's mobilization of iraq, hasht and shaabi, who the head of the iraqi aid delegation to syria met in aleppo province of syria, bashar assad's media adviser says that western sanctions have made it difficult to provide aid in syria, mrs. shaaban said this full picture by publishing a picture that shows the airlines it is important to note that most aircraft carriers aid to the earthquake victims avoided entering syria. bashar assad's media advisor also said that if you compare the aid sent to turkey with that sent to syria , you will realize that humanitarian considerations are not considered by western countries at all, they are political issues. gives priority to humanitarian issues. the first shipment of un aid arrived in syria. these are the aids that are transferred to the areas under the control of the rebels. the closure of the border crossings and in

obviously, canceling the sanctions against the murderous regime of bashar assad is not a good solution. this regime is responsible for extreme violations of human rights over the last 13 years. we don't know the exact numbers, but certainly over half a million people were killed and millions of people have been displaced, so we should not actually provide any opportunity. mark: if those sanctions are relaxed, that would not cnge anything as they would just benefit from the sanctions being relaxed. >> absolutely. the way i look at it is that the syrian regime is looking at this disastrous situation as a blessing in disguise. they may use the opportunity to militaristic lake -- militaristically reposition themselves, and at the same time, they may be able to get some concessions. i believe the cancellation of any of these european sanctions is not going to have any meaningful impact on the situation on the ground. it is only going to empower the syrian regime. i suppose the ultimate question is -- how can we provide some humanitarian aid to the people who are affected? there are millions

>> things in northwest syria are not under control of the assad regime.re is a mechanism, there are groups working there and that should go directly to those groups and to those organizations. kasia: just in terms for your people on the ground, just describe some of the stories they are telling us. it is obviously very, very complicated. the lack of machinery, supplies because of the conflict, the civil war. >> it is a difficult situation. our employees are syrians themselves. we are fortunate we did not lose any employees in this quake but some of our employees lost their wives, their children and we had one staff member who has still been stuck in the rubble. the situation in northwest area was already dire. people were already sleeping in our offices. we work at displacement camps because syrian seven moved around quite a bit. displacement camps were already overcrowded as it was. people are sleeping -- outside of dplacement camp, you have people sleeping in a car, a mosque, wherever they can find shelter. it is so cold, wet and snowy that we have put

getting aid into this part of syria is complicated by the war on the assad regime still being in conflict with rebels and it lib there has long been only one approved route in for international aid over the turkish border. one of the rebel leaders says the civil war has impacted the way the government has responded to the catastrophe in the region. one of the people who died in the earthquake would not terrorists, they were innocent civilians. they were women and children. such confused, humanitarian issues with politics is a big problem. state media report that the government will now allow aid into it live from within syria, but not through other international border crossings. that would help those scrambling to make the best of a desperate situation. but for thousands of victims, it's already too late. some of the other stories now making use around the world at the sour canada as prime minister. justin trudeau says an unidentified object has been shot down. it's the 3rd object identified in north american air space in just over a week. and the 1st incident shown here, the us shot dow

the assad regime has consistently argued against additional humanitarian crossings. but if the regime is serious about this, and if the regime is willing to put those words into action, that would be a good thing for rms hearing people. immediate help is needed for millions of people in both syria and turkey. as rescue operations for survivors enter their final days, the death toll from the devastation is predicted to rise dramatically. let's go now to w's jack park, who joins us from the turks, city of auburn, jack a week on, is there much hope left to find survivors. well, the reports of people being pulled from the rubber coming few and further between as the days continue. and many of the people that are actually put, being pulled out alive are children and suddenly young sort of teenagers rather than adults watching. turkish rolling t v. this morning, what aid workers have started to do is to brand and to, to put signs up next to the buildings, which as sess york, which means no sign that the marking, each building now for places where there is no longer any sig

after the country's president, bashar al assad said he will allow 2 new crossing points for the much needed humanitarian aid to reach the rebel health region. and move welcomed internationally. the assad regime has, are consistently argued against additional humanitarian crossings are but if the regime is serious about this, and if the regime is willing to put those words into action, that would be a good thing for answering people. immediate help is needed for millions of people in both syria and turkey. as rescue operations for survivors enter their final days, the death toll from the devastation is predicted to rise dramatically. now and tack here is the center of the province of hot tie, which is among the hardest hit by the quakes. and our correspondent julia han joins us from there. now, julia, can you give us a sense of, of what you're seeing of the scale of the destruction there or the destruction caused by the quakes here in an takia is massive. it's unimaginable when we drove into town earlier today, we saw hardly any building, still standing, 70 percent of an takia that ar
